KNOXVILLE, Tenn. • In the final minutes of Saturday’s bloodletting at Tennessee, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock’s mind drifted back to January, when the Tigers hired Derek Dooley as his new offensive coordinator, the coach who crashed and burned in three dismal seasons at Tennessee.
Saturday’s game was Dooley’s first return to Neyland Stadium in six years. As Lock watched the backup offense put the finishing touches on a 50-17 victory, on a day when Dooley’s new team piled up 484 yards of offense against his old team, Lock thought about the things he read on Twitter, back when he kept his social media account active.
